Now Is A Good Time is an exhibition of artworks that are developed from a four-month collaboration between differently-abled artists.
In being themed on observations about society, family and the self, the artworks reveal the artists’ varied personal relationships with physical and mental disabilities.
Through the exhibition, the many roles of an artist as a facilitator, researcher and developer become evident, putting into question the purpose of art in society.
Whether art provides reasons for collaboration amongst people of different abilities or offers solutions for inclusivity, this exhibition of art invites the audience to partake in the conversation.
Acknowledging that we have a long way to go still, the exhibition invites you to consider that there is no better time than the present.
